[QUOTE="ryya, post: 7950344, member: 637936"] I think what was happening is there was flat out too much current draw on my alternator. It melted right at the fused alternator to battery connection. So i've got the new fuse box coming in the mail and I'm going to throw that in once it comes in the mail. I've also got a bunch of 0awg power/ground that I will be doing my big 3 upgrade with which will hopefully lower some resistance under the hood. I am running an NVX JAD800.4 and a Hifonics BRZ1700.1D, and everything is triggered off a relay. Right now I have everything audio related disconnected. I also disconnected the alternator while I wait for a new one in the mail and I have been trickle charging my battery every night. I can get about 30 minutes of driving time off every battery charge haha. Anyone know of a good volt meter? I don't want something really bright but I NEED to be able to monitor my voltage from inside the car at this point. [/QUOTE]
